The Buffalo and the Indians: A Shared Destiny

The book explores the 10,000-year relationship between Native Americans and the buffalo on the North American plains, examining how Indigenous peoples hunted the animal while viewing it as sacred and closely related to their own tribes. It documents the near-extinction of buffalo herds by European settlers, which severely disrupted Native American cultures and way of life. The book also describes contemporary efforts by Native American communities to restore buffalo populations and revive their cultural traditions.
